General Information

It is possible to attach a custom domain to your uCoz website, e.g. mysite.com, mysite.net etc., for FREE.

uCoz gives the possibility of full domain management (creation of subdomains, e-mail accounts etc. if a domain is attached by Method 2);
you will be able to create domain-based e-mails (e.g. admin@mysite.com );
you can buy a custom domain at uCoz Domains or any other domain registrar;
you'll be able to register your website in directories which prohibit registration of free websites;
you'll be able to enter banner exchange networks (or advertising companies) where only paid domains are allowed;
with a custom domain users will never lose your website, even if you change the hosting service, the website URL will remain the same;
with a custom domain search engines will give you a higher place in search results.

Domain Attachment FAQ

Question: How can I create a subdomain?

Answer: Please see the following guide: http://forum.ucoz.com/forum/54-435-6436-16-1218803195

Question: Can I attach two domains to my website?

Answer: No, it is not possible.

Question: Can I change the ucoz domain, e.g.: mysite.ucoz.co.uk to mysiteEtc.ucoz.co.uk. Is this allowed and how?

Answer: No, once you have chosen a domain name you cannot change it, you can only create a new website.

Question: How do i setup my uCoz web page in my own domain? I did try but failed. I can see this error message:

The domain djcaner.biz has been parked but not yet attached to the account.
Domain has incorrect set of name servers: ns1.hostavrupa.net, ns2.hostavrupa.net
The following list of the name servers must be applied: ns1.ucoz.net, ns2.ucoz.net

Answer: The system gives you the answer: You must change the name servers in the domain control panel (your account on the website where you registered the domain).

1. How to Attach a Domain by Method 2: http://forum.ucoz.com/forum/54-18149-1
2. How to Attach a Domain by Method 3: http://forum.ucoz.com/forum/54-18150-1

What's the difference between Method 2 and Method 3?

When you use Method 2, your new domain is hosted at uCoz servers. If you use Method 3 - you just change the domain name (to be more precise you just get one more name for your site because it will be accessible by both names - the new one and the old one) but your domain remains hosted at another registrar's servers. So the difference is in the place where your new domain is hosted - either at uCoz or not.

Domains aren't free...
You'll have to buy the .co.uk domain.

anju91, after you have attached a domain you can create many subdomains (I'm not sure about the number but it's sufficient), but then you'll need to attach each of them to a separate account.

manojfdo, when did you attach your domain? I guess you simply need to wait because it usually takes up to 48 hours for the DNS server to update.

Is there any way that I can use Windows live instead of Google Apps as my mail server? I've been wondering since I found out that co.cc domains only last a year if you don't pay for one, I got another domain. At first, I used google apps for mail, but since you can have more accounts at windows live, I want to switch Google with Windows. Is there anyway I can do this?

Attached, nothing happened [waiting]

I attached a domain that I purchased, http://deathbe4oredishonour.com/, but I get the following error when I go to the page.
There is no site configured on this address

If you are the owner of the website and continue to see this error after the domain attachment, then the attachment procedure has not been finished. Finish the procedure in the "Domain attachment" section of the Control Panel.

If the domain has just been attached to the site you must wait 15 minutes.

PLEASE HELP! surprised cool cry
